Planting Privet and Barberry; 
Plum Rot 
1. How and when should Ibota privet 
and Berbis Thunbergii be planted? 2. 
What would you recommend for rot on 
prunes and bow and when to spray? 
Mt. Olive, Ill. F. s. 
1. Both the Ibota privet and the Japa¬ 
nese barberry may be planted either in 
early Spring or in Fall. In Spring set 
as early as the soil can be worked. If 
set in Fall do the work in time for the 
roots to get established before perma¬ 
nent freezing, and protect during the 
Winter with a good mulch of manure. 
The soil should be well worked with a 
liberal supply of bonemeal and stable 
manure spaded in. 
2. Self-boiled lime-sulphnr, at least 
three applications, is advised for rot of 
peaches and plums, the first three to four 
weeks after petals drop, the third a 
month before the fruit is ripe, and the 
second midway between the two.

Transplanting Holly 
We have a holly bush and are anxious 
to transplant it. The bush is over 20 
years old. What is the best time to trans¬ 
plant it? Could roots be cut and sepa¬ 
rated. for propagation purposes? 
New York. city subscriber. 
The holly is not an easy subject to 
transplant, and one absolute necessity is 
to strip off nearly all the leaves when it 
is moved. The best time for moving is 
either early Fall, when the young wood 
has almost ripened, or in the Spring 
just before the plants start into new 
growth. Propagation is by seeds, which 
do not germinate until the second year. 
They are stratified to prevent them from 
drying out. The young seedlings are 
transplanted after the second year. They 
are also propagated by cuttings of ripe 
wood under glass, and choice sorts are 
budded or grafted on seedlings of the 
common holly.

Tree Planting and Fillers 
We have the usual number of questions 
this year about planting fillers in an 
apple orchard. Opinion seems to have 
changed regarding this. Most of the 
permanent apple orchards are planted too 
closely. In our own case we started put¬ 
ting the trees 32 ft. apart, but many of 
them have already made such tremendous 
heads that they met. In several of our 
orchards we should be better off if the 
trees had been put 50 ft. each way. Of 
course much depends on the strength of 
the ground and the way the trees are 
pruned. We have one orchard planted 
nearly 15 years ago, which is a good il¬ 
lustration of what comes when fillers are 
planted. In this case, we planted Mc¬ 
Intosh 40 ft. apart each way for a per¬ 
manent orchard. Trees of Wealthy were 
then planted as fillers 20 ft. apart, so that 
each McIntosh is really surrounded by 
four Wealthy, each 20 ft. distant. The 
Wealthy came into bearing first, and 
have given us several good crops, but it is 
now evident that they must soon be cut 
out in order to give the McIntosh a full 
chance to develop. In fact some of the 
McIntosh already show the effect of too 
much crowding as they are growing up 
too high and not spreading out as they 
should. Anyone who has had experience 
mows how difficult it is for fruit growers 
to go out and cut down good bearing 
trees such as these Wealthy have become, 
and yet they must be taken out if the 
permanent McIntosh trees are to do best. 
I'liere was a perfect craze through New 
Jersey and Southern New York a dozen 
rears ago for planting the Wealthy ap- 
ole as a filler. Its habit of growth makes 
t well adapted for this purpose, and it 
is an early bearing variety but so many 
were planted that the business has been 
ivenloiie and the early apple trade has 
been injured. In the future we shall 
plant our permanent trees 40 or 50 ft. 
ipart and use peach trees of some variety 
which makes a heavy growth as fillers. 
The old advice was not to use peach 
trees for this purpose. We have come 
to the conclusion that all things con¬ 
sidered a thrifty peach tree is more suit 
able for the purpose than an apple tree 
of a variety such as Wealthy. The peach 
trees will give fair returns for four or five 
years. After that it is easy to take them 
out as needed, very much easier than to 
cut out thrifty apple trees. 
^ Trying it 
on the Farm 
The first advertisement of this series explained how 
a Committee of engineers and economists is gather¬ 
ing the facts upon which a sound policy of rural 
electrification must be based. 
In three states — Minnesota, South Dakota and 
Alabama—diversified farms are now being experi¬ 
mentally supplied with electricity. Similar lines 
are planned in ten additional states. 
Wherever electricity is thus experimentally distrib¬ 
uted a group of editors of farm publications, pro¬ 
fessors in agricultural colleges, farmers and engineers 
assume charge. They light houses and lighten house¬ 
work electrically and grind feed, churn butter and 
pump water electrically. They keep accurate records 
of costs, power consumption, time and labor. 
When the electrical facts are thus gathered from 
many states and from farms of widely varying size 
and type, farmers and power companies will know 
just what electricity can do in agriculture, what 
kind of service should be rendered, and what rate 
is fair to the farmer and to the electric light and power 
company. 
The Committee in charge of the 
work is composed of economists and 
engineers representing the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, Department of 
the Interior, Department of Com¬ 
merce, the Power Farming Associa¬ 
tion of America, the American Society 
of Agricultural Engineers, the Ameri¬ 
can Farm Bureau Federation, and the 
National Electric Light Association. 
A booklet has been published by the 
Committee. It will be sent on re¬ 
quest free of charge. Read it and 
pass it on to your neighbor. Write 
for it either to Dr. E. A. White, Amer¬ 
ican Farm Bureau Federation, 58 
East Washington Street, Chicago, 
Ill., or to the National Electric Light 
Association, at 29 West 39th Street, 
New York City.
